Computer viruses can wreck your machine. So we all know that we need to have antivirus software. Many computer novices will take a ride down to PC World and buy a branded product off the shelf, such as Norton AntiVirus. But I did a straw poll among my geeky computer friends about the product that they had on their home computer for protection. Guess what? None of them used Norton.
So what do they know that the average computer doesn't? Well first off, Norton is a pretty good piece of software in detecting and dealing with viruses. However it is something of a resources hog. This means that it needs a lot of computing power to run. Most users will notice a drop off in the performance of their PC.
